Alisson Becker had been unexpectedly beaten after just nine minutes. His team were behind at home against a team from mid-table, which was not good for their title chances as they attempted to chase down the league leaders.
Fortunately help was at hand seven minutes later. Mohamed Salah cut the ball back to a central midfielder who drilled the ball into the net from about 25 yards out. The Egyptian then scored himself on the stroke of half-time and a third goal after the interval secured the points.
If you’re wracking your brain to try to recall this Liverpool match, don’t waste your time. However, as the midfielder who scored was Leandro Paredes for Roma against Sassuolo in 2017, it’s not unfeasible that a similar outcome could occur for the Reds in future.
